Field Detail

MAIN

public static final java.lang.String MAIN

This constant is the name of the property whose value contains a boolean indicating if this is the Main Container or a peripheral container.

MAIN_PROTO

public static final java.lang.String MAIN_PROTO

This constant is the name of the property whose value is a String indicating the protocol to use to connect to the Main Container.

MAIN_HOST

public static final java.lang.String MAIN_HOST

This constant is the name of the property whose value is the name (or the IP address) of the network host where the JADE Main Container is running.

MAIN_PORT

public static final java.lang.String MAIN_PORT

This constant is the name of the property whose value contains an integer representing the port number where the Main Container is listening for container registrations.

PLATFORM_ID

public static final java.lang.String PLATFORM_ID

This constant is the name of the property whose value contains the unique platform ID of a JADE platform. Agent GUIDs in JADE are made by a platform-unique nickname, the '@' character and the platform ID.

AGENTS
